Drugs seized, 2 arrested for distribution near Peyton

PEYTON, Colo. (KRDO) -- The El Paso County Sheriff's Office arrested two people in connection with drug distribution in a rural area north of Peyton following a search on Friday.

According to a news release from the sheriff's office on Monday, detectives went to a home near 17000 Warriors Path Drive to arrest Joy Tomlinson, 32, for drug distribution-related charges.

Deputies with the Tactical Support Unit helped officers at the scene, but the sheriff's office says Tomlinson fled from officers while driving a vehicle, and she "intentionally rammed an unmarked and occupied TSU vehicle on two separate occasions." Deputies were able to arrest her "a short distance away."

The EPCSO said another person, 27-year-old Shane Wynn, was taken into custody for illegal possession of a firearm and distribution of a controlled substance.

According to the sheriff's office, detectives seized 2.3 pounds of methamphetamine, 65 grams of heroin, over 800 fentanyl pills, and three handguns.
